 * On September 11, The Twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York and part of the Pentagon in Washington, were attacked and destroyed by terrorist activity. Many innocent people lost their lives in the blackest day I can remember. My, and My country's heart, soul and love goes out to all those who have lost loved ones and colleagues. -- //John//, //founder of Brucebase//.**

MY CITY OF RUINS

Bruce opens a national telethon, "America: A Tribute to Heroes," with the song he played for another city last December and last month, "My City of Ruins." His acoustic guitar and harmonica are the only instruments used in the performance, but Bruce was joined by Steven Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, Clarence Clemons, Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Dee Holmes, and Layonne Holmes on backing vocals in a very moving rendition. The telethon features many musicians and actors in three different cities, with actors describing heroic efforts by ordinary people during the September 11th tragedies.

Officially released on the //America: A Tribute To Heroes// two-CD set and DVD issued only a few weeks after the actual telethon; with either format listing Bruce’s song as "My City Of Ruin".

First night of this year's Christmas concerts. Multiple guests and a fantastic setlist. The entire E Street Band except Roy Bittan and Steven Van Zandt joins the Max Weinberg 7 as the band. “Something” and “My Sweet Lord” are played by Bruce as a tribute to George Harrison who passed away recently. “Jam Up” is Max Weinberg 7 at full tilt. “Santa Claus, Santa Claus” includes Bruce, Jimmy Vivino and Max Weinberg 7. "Thundercrack" is next up, last known to have been played in Austin, TX at the Armadillo World Headquarters in March 1974. "Seaside Bar Song" follows, previously played in June 1973, some 28 years ago. “Love (Stand Up)” and “Spanish Dancer” are Patti’s spotlight. “Welcome To The World” and "New York Skyline” are Garland Jeffreys' contributions. Then Southside gets three slots before Nils does the next two. Bruce drives it home from there with Bobby Bandiera doing a solo acoustic “Here Comes The Sun” and Southside sharing lead on “I Don’t Want To Go Home”. Otherwise quite similar to last years show.

It’s time to rearrange the set list again; “Deck The Halls” with the horn section kicks it off. "Incident On 57th Street" is almost like going back to February 1975 - Suki Lahav is replaced by Soozie Tyrell. “Jingle Bell Rock” starts off acoustically country style before the whole assembly turns it into New Orleans Christmas. A new artist enters the stage replacing Garland Jeffreys; Bruce Hornsby does “Spider Fingers” introduced by “O Come, All Ye Faithful” before doing Don Henley's “The End Of The Innocence” together with Bruce. “You Sexy Thing” is introduced as “one of the great accordion songs, the song that made the accordion famous”. “This Time Baby’s Gone For Good” replaces “Talk To Me” during Southside Johnny’s slot, Nils Lofgren does an acoustic version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before “If I Should Fall Behind”, close to the version Bruce recorded back in 1992 adding a horn part. “So Young And In Love” returns and replaces “The E Street Shuffle”. The full E Street Band, minus Roy Bittan and Steven Van Zandt, is again present, and The Alliance Singers join once again. "Here Comes The Sun" is again Bobby Bandiera solo acoustic.
